Minnesota Wild General Discussion - 2022-23

[DigitalBoldy]

I didn't see enough of Faber last game, but if this is actually an option, it's odd they wouldn't play him tonight to get him as many reps as possible in the regular season.

My hope is the turnover tonight that lead to the opposing team's third goal is bad enough to get him benched. That would be an absolute back breaker in a playoff game.

 

[AKL]

While we're at it, is it too late to get someone who can play over Merrill?

Brodin-Faber
Middleton-Spurgeon
Literally anyone besides the guys we have left-Dumba

Actually looks like a pretty solid unit if Faber doesn't get completely overwhelmed (if he does just swap him with Dumba).

I don't think it's actually an option. He also had a pretty whirlwind weekend so a breather made sense too.

 

[NHL1674]

Evason didn't rule out Faber for the playoffs.

 

[Bdub]

Faber will definitely be playing in the playoffs.

 

[Wild11MN]

Officially clinched the 3 seed in the Central now.

I call this intent to injure

I call this intent to injure

"Doesn't feel awesome," is an understatement. I really hope he doesn't have a broken rib or two. This close to the playoffs really sucks. Every year it is something or a few somethings.

Confirmed Ek broken bone????

Wilderness Walk: Wild Get Nasty

Tuesday night against the Winnipeg Jets was a game to forget for the Minnesota Wild, but could be a memorable one for those liking a little bit of tenacity with their hockey. The end result -- a 3-1 loss where the Wild had the advantage in a whole lot of categories -- is not that important anymor...

You'd think Spezza kneeing him in the head would have sent enough of a message to him to cut this crap out, but I guess to survive that retaliation he must have one really thick skull, so maybe I shouldn't be surprised.

The Jets are one of my least favorite teams to watch the Wild play because every time they do someone either gets injured, or nearly does.

 

[Webster]

The league has called Hartman to a hearing today for this. Hopefully it's not more than one game.

Dang.. Can't be more than a game can it? We have so many things that seem to be going against us.

I’d assume Pionk should get 4-5 games then?

 

[Wasted Talent]

You'd have to basically try to murder someone (i.e. Keith taking a swing at Coyle's face) to get a suspension that extends to the playoffs.

 

[Soldier13Fox]

Yep, I see a game suspension. Def worthy of one in and of itself. Game got stupid out of hand. Great reffing!

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

I'm still not sure Hartman should be required to get out of Ehlers' way. He certainly didn't put himslef unnecessarily into his way, he just played the puck. The video looks worse because he was bracing for contact and you don't see him make the short pass a second before the collision.

 

[Sweetnut]

Dang.. Can't be more than a game can it? We have so many things that seem to be going against us.

Isn´t there some kind of rule regarding hearings and suspensions? Like you don´t get called to a hearing if you´re not going to be suspended for minimum x number of games?

 

[Minnewildsota]

I believe you're talking about in-person hearings.

 

[Sweetnut]

I believe you're talking about in-person hearings.

Oh I see. My bad, thanks for the correction.

 

[Webster]

So top players not going to Nashville as expected. But what a mess right now, certainly not optimal with the playoffs coming up.

 

[NHL1674]

The league has called Hartman to a hearing today for this. Hopefully it's not more than one game.

Where is the hearing for Pionk?

 

[f7ben]

So absolutely perfectly Minnesota

 

[Webster]

Wild have called up Walker and Nick Swaney. Never heard about this 2nd kid, could make his NHL debut against the Preds.

 

[Ban Hammered]

I’d assume Pionk should get 4-5 games then?

Just a fine. What a joke.

 

[Sweetnut]

So 2 of the deadline Swedes is gone due to malicious crosscheckings that have gone unpunished by the league. This is infuriating
